Hyphenation oflønnsplansystem

Linguistic Analysis of "lønnsplansystem" (Norwegian Nynorsk)

1. Pronunciation Considerations:

The word "lønnsplansystem" presents a challenge due to its compound structure and the presence of consonant clusters. Nynorsk pronunciation generally adheres to a relatively strict phonemic principle, meaning that most written letters correspond to specific sounds. However, vowel reduction in unstressed syllables can occur.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and avoiding stranded consonants, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• lønns-: From løn (wage, salary) + -s- (genitive marker). Origin: Old Norse. Morphological function: Adjectival/Genitive.
• plans-: From plan (plan, scheme). Origin: French/Latin. Morphological function: Noun stem.
• system: From system (system). Origin: Greek. Morphological function: Noun stem.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the second syllable: plans. This is typical for Nynorsk compound nouns, where stress tends to fall on the second element.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈlønːsˌplɑnːˌsʏstɛm/

6. Edge Case Review:

The double consonants (nn and ss) are crucial for maintaining the correct vowel length and syllable weight. The consonant cluster plans- is a common feature in Nynorsk compounds.
